Streamline your home audio with a single control dashboard. Control4 integrates your lighting, entertainment, alarm, energy, and sound system for a seamless user experience.
Which Whole Home Audio System Is Right for You?
Smart technology has evolved immensely in the last ten years. There are more options than ever. Consider the number of rooms you want to power and select zones of the home where music will be transmitted. Different rooms of the home can simultaneously play different genres of music. A few of the brands we work with include:
- KEF
- JL Audio
- Triad
- Origin Acoustics
- Yamaha
Each of these brands has a different emphasis, whether your priority is high-resolution audio (KEF), dynamic bass (JL Audio), architectural speakers (Origin), custom equipment (Triad), or range of products (Yamaha).
How Does Control4 Work?
With one app and one set of controls, you can adjust all of your smart technology. Specifically for home audio, you can use a tablet, smartphone, or desktop computer to customize volume, music type, and sound quality throughout your home. Speakers in living areas, kitchens, patios, bedrooms, and bathrooms can all be accessed with the touch of a button.
With technological expertise and relentless attention to detail, we discreetly keep the wires hidden out of sight. Contact us today to fulfill all of your media automation dreams.
Your home is at the center of your life and should also be a place of relaxation. Instead of stressing about where your various remotes are or wondering if you turned the front porch light on, consider using a home automation system. It can improve your life in multiple ways.
Enhance Your Home Entertainment
If you avoid watching movies because you can’t find the TV or sound system remotes, you need to pop some popcorn because those days are long gone. When you use an automation system, you can dim the lights, turn on the TV, and adjust the sound levels of your movie, all from the comfort of the couch.
Set a Lighting Schedule
Instead of trying to remember to turn your outside lights on and off, set them on a schedule. Your home automation system will turn them on when you’ve scheduled and turn them off at the chosen time. You can also set schedules for the lights inside different areas of your home.
Have a Greater Sense of Security
When you have an automation system, you never have to wonder if you locked the door behind you. You can lock your doors and windows and check your security cameras, all from your phone or computer.
An automation system is a perfect way to make your home the relaxing oasis you’ve always wanted. Contact Next Level today to speak to someone about getting started.
Control4 is essentially a brain for your smart home. It is the next level of control. By combining a feature-rich environment with end-user devices, it can give you access to all of your home automation in various ways.
The Control4 Tablet
The tablet is very similar to a standard computer tablet but specifically designed to integrate with the system’s brain, also called the hub. This device can be mounted to a wall or just sitting on your coffee table.
The Control4 Remote
There is also a convenient remote for this system. This remote is specifically geared toward entertainment systems. You can use it much like a universal remote control to control both your entertainment automation and other automation devices.
The Control4 App
Much like the tablet, the app gives you access to all of your automated systems. You download the app and use control4 like you would any other app.
From Your Television
You can also use your television much like you are selecting a streaming app to watch a movie or listen to music. Only you can also control many of your smart home functions as well.
Using Voice Control
It is also possible to control this system using a voice control device. However, your control will be limited by the device that you use.
If you want to know more about Control4, feel free to contact us at Next Level. We are always happy to help.
Sound quality is a critical component of your home entertainment experience. But perhaps you want a little more out of your current home audio system. Maybe it doesn’t sound as rich as it used to, or your surround sound is a bit lacking. Upgrading to a high end audio system may be the perfect solution.
Benefits of a Custom Audio System
Your home audio system should be uniquely created to support your desired media experience. Working with a professional home theater installation expert is an excellent way to get the system you want. Whether you’re a music lover, a movie buff, an avid sports watcher or just want better sound, a custom sound system offers several benefits:
- Effectively uses your interior space and acoustics
- Custom technology options: projector screens, surround sound receivers, speakers and more
- Improved full-spectrum sound, including lower frequencies
Your upgraded home audio system will also include proper electrical system support. This ensures that the system doesn’t overtax your home’s power supply or pose a safety hazard.
When most people think of home automation, they think of being able to adjust many different features at once. However, they often worry about the challenges of using this technology and don’t realize how easy it is with Control 4.
1. You Get Texts About Security Issues
Traditional security systems have protected homes for years. That said, security is much more effective when combined with automation. The old systems contacted the provider after an intrusion, who then called you. Meanwhile, Control 4 texts you immediately if there is an intruder. Then, you can view what is going on through your phone via the nearest security camera.
2. You Get Instant Status Updates Anywhere
Leave a light on? Or a window open? Or maybe even a door open? Whether you’re a mile away or across the country, you can check on the status of your home with Control 4. You can easily use any device, including a phone, tablet, television, or computer. See what lights are on, and the doors and windows are open. That means you can rest easy or react accordingly.
3. The Home Automation Is Tailored to You
It’s tough to blend comfort and energy efficiency when doing things manually. Fortunately, Control 4 lets you establish preset parameters for maximum comfort and efficiency. That means you can wake to a comfortable home. You can also fall asleep knowing you’re saving money.
Getting a great automated home can make your life easier. Turn on lights, lock doors and control your entertainment with a few taps on a screen from anywhere. This kind of convenience is easy to get when you use smart home technology from Control4.
Enhance Your Security
With Control4 automation, you can transform the way you live in your home. Start with your home security. You can connect locks, door sensors, cameras and more safety tools with the Control4 system. You’ll be able to secure the entire house with an app, even when you’re not home.

You can automate a wide variety of items in your home to make every room and experience better. Start with light bulbs and dimmer switches so you can set the right atmosphere in every space. Don’t forget about fan speed controllers and thermostats to keep the entire house feeling comfortable.
Take your entertainment space to the next level with automated speakers that always sound great. Complete your setup with table touch screens throughout the home so you’re never far from the controls.
Regardless of your lifestyle, home automation can add value and comfort to your day-to-day routine. With smart security and entertainment at your fingertips, these solutions can transform how you interact with every room in your house.
1. Smart Speakers
Smart speakers can enhance every room of your house by providing ambiance, mood music, or entertainment. By having a house-wide sound system, you can listen to your favorite podcasts or catch up on the news as you move from room to room, or broadcast wake-up calls throughout the house.
2. Lighting Routines
Whether it’s your bedroom, bathroom, or living room, customizable lighting can fit your mood and schedule. In the bedroom, automated lighting can mimic the sun cycle to help you wake up and fall asleep or serve as nightlights in bathrooms and hallways for safety and convenience.
3. Temperature Control
With smart thermostats, you can adjust the temperature in your home from anywhere with your smartphone. Controlling your thermostat remotely gives you the power to make your home cool in the summer and cozy in the winter from the moment you step through the door.
Home automation allows you to control everything on your property, from audio and visual media to the lighting and temperature settings. Contact today for more information about transforming your house into a smart home.
Recent years have seen a spike in smart home devices. If you’re on the fence about making your home smarter, here are a few benefits to consider.
Increased Security
Adding home automation systems to your property can increase your security. Adding alarm systems, automatic locks, or surveillance gear to your home helps prevent break-ins and keep you safe. With smart security systems, you can make adjustments from anywhere. Whether you’re at work or on a date, you can maintain the security of your home from your phone.
Energy Efficiency
Making your home more smart can also help you save money on your energy bill. When you trust automation for heating and air conditioning, you avoid having these systems always on. Additionally, home automation can prevent lights from being left on and draining power from your home. Automate your property to bring your energy costs down and help save the planet too.
Peace of Mind
Because of the lower energy costs and increased security levels, adding home automation to your property gives you greater peace of mind. Rather than worrying about a light left on or an unlocked door while you’re at work, you can handle these problems from your smartphone and go about your day.
If you want to make your home smarter, contact us now for a free consultation.
You and your family should feel safe in your home, which means taking advantage of the latest home security technology. While cameras and alarms are helpful, they’re of little help when you are away from the house. An alarm monitoring company gives you the highest level of security 24 hours a day, even when you’re not home.
Make Your Property a Less Appealing Target
Most criminals look for an easy mark. The more obstacles you can put between them and your belongings, the less likely your home will become a target. An alarm monitoring company provides highly visible signage to notify others that your home has 24/7 surveillance. Anyone looking to break in is likely to keep searching for a home with less protection.
Keep Dedicated Eyes on Your Home
Even if you have cameras that you can monitor via smartphone, you can’t keep your eyes on them 24/7. An alarm monitoring company focuses on watching your property and notifying you and the authorities at the first sign of trouble. With round-the-clock monitoring, you get a much higher level of professional security service.
Whether you live alone or with a partner and a house full of kids and pets, an alarm monitoring company can bring you peace of mind and an unrivaled sense of security. Contact Next Level today to learn more about your options.
